What's funny about the 32's is that the original design was pretty much the same as the redbirds, but with a bit more weight were smooth as a baby's ass. Things came a long way from the first cars with dynamics, the R10's, also known as track pounders because those would lock up at the drop of a hat unless the inshots were set just right. They rarely were. That's why they were known for their octagonal-shaped wheels. :)And just so you know track physics, drizzle is the absolute worst because it forms a thin film over whatever grease comes off the wheel treads. A good deluge washes most of it off the rail ball and so you have traction again. And leaf season on the Brighton was always something special. You didn't want to do Beverly/Newkirk much faster than 10 MPH. Heh. |
